Chapter 467

Listening to Uchiha Hikari's slightly teasing tone, a intoxicating blush flashed on Yueji's iceberg-like pretty face, and her silver teeth gnashed together.

The biggest mistake she made in her life was going into the locker room with the woman in front of her.

"Don't even think about it, this lady will absolutely never take a hot spring with you again!"

While speaking, the white robe on her body began to move without wind. Everyone felt something, and they raised their heads in unison. A dazzling golden light from outside the earth descended from the sky.

Giant Tenseigan energy has been delivered, please pay attention to receiving~

Boom!

Otsutsuki Yueji pushed her hands outward, her whole body bathed in golden light, and her slender body actually broke free from the shackles of gravity, floating up slowly.

"Tenseigan, open!"

Accompanied by the infusion of energy, a blue-green Chakra haori was draped over Yueji's body. Her clean white eyes flashed with a cyan brilliance, and the pressure she emitted also underwent earth-shaking changes.

"This kind of change..."

Looking at Otsutsuki Yueji, whose aura was climbing like a rocket, Jigen's expression tightened slightly, his eyes full of surprise.

Without devouring a guardian of the same clan, she could actually make her Byakugan evolve. When did these indigenous Otsutsuki master this kind of black technology?

"Yo, a bit slow this time, lightning reed~"

Uchiha Hikari, who was wrestling with the wooden figure, turned her face and glanced at Yueji, who flew to her side, laughing and calling out the other party's ridiculous nickname.

"Shut up! You red plastic bag!"

Yueji, who was labeled with a nickname, immediately countered back with an indignant face.

"Ginrin Tenseibaku!"

Her two delicate hands weren't idle either. Raising them forward, the condensed Chakra beads rolled up a manic tornado, destroying the venue of Deep Forest Emergence that Number Three had worked so hard to lay out with the momentum of destroying dry weeds and rotten wood.

"Ptooey ptooey ptooey..."

Number Three, who had eaten a mouthful of sand, stood up cursing, looking at his teammates who had already entered the giant battle stage.

So he also put his hands together, and an Luo Han wooden figure of the same specification rose from the ground, rushing toward Uchiha Hikari, who was alone.

"Tsk, another one comes."

The cherry-red Susanoo holding the knife was entangled with Number Four's wooden figure. Facing the newly joined wooden figure, Hikari frowned slightly.

"Hmph, this time it's my turn to save you."

Looking at Hikari, who was attacked from both sides, Otsutsuki Yueji's mouth curled slightly, and the cyan brilliance in her eyes instantly flourished.

"Summoning Jutsu: Stone Statue."

Only to see her put her hands together, and a huge formation appeared out of thin air on the ground.

"Buzz rumble..."

Accompanied by a deafening loud noise, a giant stone hand was raised fiercely from the formation, followed by a towering body full of pressure.

"Hmm..."

This stone statue, which looked somewhat similar to Otsutsuki Hamura, emitted a terrifying aura that was not inferior to the other giants present.

"Mere wood, smash it for me!"

Leaping onto the stone statue's head, Yueji pointed at the running wooden figure Luo Han. The giant statue under her feet immediately received the master's instruction, took a step, and its movements weren't clumsy at all.

"Wood Dragon Jutsu."

Number Three, who came to support, looked at the stone statue blocking in front of him and threw out the giant dragon entangled on the wooden figure without hesitation.

As a result, the seemingly hideous wooden dragon didn't even have time to show its cold, flashing sharp teeth before it was caught by the stone statue's raised hand. Without waiting to struggle much, it was crushed into fragments.

"Squish~"

"Let's have a competition; whoever cleans up the enemy first is the final winner."

Yueji, who easily handled the wooden dragon, had her confidence explode. She turned her head and issued a challenge to Hikari, who was fighting fiercely.

"Heh, truly asking for trouble. I won't lose!"

Hikari, who had always been competitive, naturally wouldn't refuse. Like Yueji, she had absolute confidence in her strength.

"Then let's wait and see."

Only with competition would there be progress. After setting the competition system, the two women swept away their previous decadence and became very aggressive. The four giants started a giant battle that made the audience's blood boil in the depths of this desert.

"Boom rumble-"

"Boom rumble rumble——"

On the other side of the battlefield, Number One's gaze was attracted by the battle of the four giants. Just as he was thinking about whether to go and help his teammates, a teasing voice behind him pulled him back to reality.

"Ptooey... haven't seen them play so happily for a long time."

"Aren't you already down?"

Number One turned his head in surprise, looking at Uchiha Gin, who had suddenly returned to full health, his brows couldn't help but furrow tightly.

Clearly, he had been in a dying state just a moment ago; how did he start eating snacks in the blink of an eye, and eat them so deliciously?

"The past is the past, now is now."

After swallowing the sunflower seed kernel into his stomach, Uchiha Gin, whose whole body was spotless, shook his fingers solemnly, his rosy face showing no trace of weakness.

"You..."

"Want to eat? Caramel flavor."

Looking at Uchiha Gin's sincere face, Number One swallowed the question that had reached his mouth. After hesitating for a moment, he took a small handful of sunflower seeds from the other party's hand.

"Thanks."

He liked this feeling of being treated as a human.

Ever since he was manufactured, Number One had been very confused.

Although the researchers around him kept emphasizing that he was just a tool, there was a voice in his heart telling him:

He is a human,

A human with a personality.

Therefore, in the process of executing the tasks assigned by his master, he had been learning and imitating humans through various channels, trying to prove that he wasn't a tool.

"I found that you are not quite the same as those two guys."

Since the other party took his sunflower seeds, it meant that they could have a peaceful dialogue for a period of time.

This way of dialogue had another name,

Chatting.

"I am not the same as them."

This was exactly the point of Number One's pride. As the only experimental subject that successfully absorbed a huge amount of Tailed Beast Chakra, his activation level was much higher than other experimental subjects.

The self-consciousness hidden in his body awakened much earlier than other experimental subjects.

"That's true, you look like a human."

Uchiha Gin nodded thoughtfully. He could perceive the soul fluctuations from this clone that the other two clones didn't have.

He didn't know if it was intentional by the manufacturer or a mistake made during the appearance setting.

"Uchiha Gin, right? As long as you hand over the One-Tail fruit, I guarantee I won't hurt you."

Listening to Uchiha Gin's "praise" that didn't sound fake, Number One felt inexplicable pleasure, and a twitch-like smile appeared on his stiff face.

This human was quite good. Anyway, he wasn't a Tailed Beast Knight. As long as he obediently handed over the fruit, what harm was there in letting him go?

"What exactly is the use of that thing for you?"

Uchiha Gin, who was cracking sunflower seeds, asked casually.

Finally successfully getting together with the enemy, it was time for him to close the net!

"I need it to complete my final evolution, for the mas..."

Having been worn down of vigilance by the fake politeness, Number One, who didn't know the dangers of society, didn't hesitate at all and directly started to explode big news. Uchiha Gin hurriedly pricked up his ears, afraid of missing anything.

"Ah!!!"

However, Uchiha Gin didn't wait for the follow-up he wanted. Number One, who was speaking halfway, covered his head with both hands, screaming and rolling back and forth on the scorching sand, the uneaten sunflower seeds scattering all over the ground.

"That idiot, actually chatting with a human."

Jigen in the distance put down his hand with a livid face, already starting to consider rebuilding the disobedient Number One.

If you saw the RPG you worked hard to build chatting and cracking sunflower seeds with the enemy on the battlefield, it would definitely be Jigen's current mood.

"Are you okay?"

Although he said words of concern, Uchiha Gin quickly retreated a few steps to open the distance.

According to the general routine, this clone would enter AI substitute mode next. In this mode, he would not recognize anyone and would regard completing the mission as the primary goal.

"Fruit confirmed, recycling started."

Sure enough, Number One, who had struggled on the ground for a while, suddenly lost his voice. A few seconds later, he stood up slowly as if he had been restarted. The eyes looking at Uchiha Gin no longer had the brilliance just now, only bottomless emptiness.

"Sigh~"

Seeing this situation, Uchiha Gin, who knew he couldn't escape a battle, sighed and put away the uneaten sunflower seeds, clapped his hands, and looked helpless.

Suddenly restarting, was it triggering some keywords during the conversation, or was the mastermind nearby, monitoring their every move?

"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence."

Number One put his hands together blankly. The ground under Uchiha Gin's feet immediately made a rumbling sound. As the earth trembled, countless wooden branches broke out of the sand, surrounding the two tightly.

Standard starting move, is he going to release the wooden dragon next?

"Wood Dragon Jutsu."

Uchiha Gin guessed correctly. Number One, after laying out the venue card, directly summoned a thick wooden dragon.

"Can you not be so formulaic? Isn't the purity a bit too full?"

Even the fighting style was exactly the same as the missing Hashirama Laodi. Uchiha Gin complained and twisted his body to dodge the wooden dragon's attack.

No way, who told Wood Release to be so over-the-top? If you fight, three axes are enough.

"Roar!"

The wooden dragon that missed its attack turned its head in the air, as if it had locked onto Uchiha Gin, diving down from above his head, swearing to swallow him into its belly in one bite.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu."

Uchiha Gin raised his head, his half-squinted eyes looking directly at the falling giant dragon, took a deep breath, and scorching flames sprayed out from his mouth.

"Sizzle sizzle~"

The huge fireball instantly swallowed the slightly "slender" little wooden snake.

Seeing that his old skills were still sharp, Uchiha Gin nodded with satisfaction.

As long as the Great Fireball isn't used against people, the effect is still quite good~

"That is?"

The two women who were fighting fiercely saw the flames rising like a fountain and revealed looks of surprise at the same time.

"Haven't seen Gin get serious for a long time."

In the impression of the two, the last time Uchiha Gin made a move was the last time.

"Wood Release..."

Facing Uchiha Gin, who used the Great Fireball to kill his wooden dragon in seconds, Number One, who had already been forcibly restarted by Jigen, was still expressionless, hands together, the majestic Wood Release power ready to go.

Uchiha Gin saw this posture and knew that the next battle was about to enter the giant battle stage, so he scratched his head in distress.

For no other reason,

It was just too hard to choose.

Should he open Susanoo?

Or use the wooden figure?

For a time, he actually fell into a dilemma.

"Wood Human Jutsu!"

Rumble rumble—

Just in the gap of his hesitation, the third wooden figure in the field also rose from the ground. The grayish-brown body emitted an aura of decay, and the palm like a small mountain was about to land on Uchiha Gin's head.

"Got it!"

Suddenly, Uchiha Gin's eyes lit up, and he took out a blue card from his body.

"Who told me I'm just a scientist~"

Looking at the Susanoo experience card gifted by his cousin before leaving, Uchiha Gin shook his head with a sigh. At this time, the wooden figure's big hand was no more than ten meters away from his head.

In a few more seconds, he would become a two-dimensional foil.

"Fortunately, I made another one."

Uchiha Gin, who had a plan in his heart, took a blue wristband out of his carry-on backpack.

But the appearance was different from the one he gave to Mirror, instead being similar to the one used by Senju Tobirama, both being miniature treasure sword shapes.

Placing the Susanoo card on the wristband, the card instantly turned into a stream of light and merged into it. The gemstone of the wristband began to glow following the injection of energy.

"Let me, this scientist with no power to truss a chicken, play with you."

Uchiha Gin smiled and raised his arm, pushing the hilt of the sword at the top of the wristband lightly, and the golden-blue light soared into the sky.

"Ya!"

A dull roar rang out, and everyone present paused in unison.

The owner of this voice seemed to have traveled through time and space with all his might before arriving by their side.

"Boom rumble!"

Everyone turned to look, surprised to see that the arrogant wooden figure under Number One's feet actually began to lift its feet off the ground under the irradiation of the dazzling light.

"What... is that?"

Uchiha Hikari and Yueji blinked their eyes in confusion. Although the light was dazzling, it was a mere formality for the two of them.

From their perspective, the reason why the wooden figure lifted its feet off the ground was because there was a blue giant supporting it from underneath.

And it was one-handed.

"Ya!"

Finally, the light dissipated.

A blue giant with a refined appearance, looking every bit like a scientific researcher, was holding the wooden figure Luo Han with one hand, his goose-egg-like eyes full of ease.

"Huh? What is this thing again?"

Jigen, who was watching the battle, couldn't sit still and stood up abruptly, his eyes fixed on the suddenly appeared blue giant.

This form, this posture, one look and you could tell he wasn't a local, just like him.

Number One, who was held in mid-air, was slow to react. Seeing that it was actually a monkey-like giant holding him up, he immediately manipulated the wooden figure to start struggling.

"Ya!"

Seeing the wooden figure in his hand becoming disobedient, Uchiha Gin, who had unlocked the one-handed lifting achievement, decisively threw it, tossing the wooden figure together with Number One into the distance.

"Boom!"

The wooden figure that smashed heavily onto the ground soon flipped over, launching an attack toward the blue giant transformed by Uchiha Gin.

"Hey!"

Facing the aggressive wooden figure, Uchiha Gin set up a handsome starting stance. Just looking at the styling, he didn't know how much higher it was than the clumsy wooden figure.

"Dong!"

Uchiha Gin first used an Iron Mountain Lean, knocking the rushing wooden figure until it was tottering, and large and small wood chips scattered like snowflakes.

Then he pursued the victory, taking advantage of Number One being dizzy, flew up and kicked the wooden figure's protruding big belly, kicking it until it turned upside down.

Immediately after, he flipped onto the wooden figure, raised his hands, and the sharp fist wind fell like raindrops, beating Number One until he was miserable.

If the wooden figure could talk, it would have long since knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Beep beep beep..."

Suddenly, a burst of urgent alarm sounds rang out. Uchiha Gin looked down at the red light that lit up on his chest. It turned out the three-minute experience time was up.

Happy times are always short, time to say bye-bye to the little friends again~

So he stood up, did a few backflips that looked handsome but indeed had no practical significance to open the distance, and raised his hands in front of his chest in a cross shape.

"Ya!"

The azure laser sprayed out instantly, blowing the stiff and defense-broken wooden figure into fragments.

After finishing this set of actions smoothly, the blue giant left a slowly disappearing back view for the dumbfounded crowd against the background of the sun changing from scorching to sunset at some point.

And Uchiha Gin's incomparably annoying voice echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

"What is this called? This is called a professional giant battle; you guys better learn well!"
